MANTECA – A Roseville man accused of making an Internet threat against a Manteca police officer involved in a shooting has been ordered to stand trial on criminal charges.

Dominic Aguilar is facing a felony charge for criminal/terrorist threats stemming from his Facebook comment on a protest page that memorializes Ernesto Duenez Jr., a Lathrop man shot to death by Manteca police officer John Moody during a 2011 stakeout.

Aguilar was responding to a video uploaded to the protest page of the shooting recorded by the patrol car dash cam.

One of Aguilar's posts said: "50 rounds to your dome Moody…"

In another, he wrote: "...so when you pull me over and ask for my I.D., pop pop pop to your face then I'm outie G...Cougnut...” quoting the late rapper, Cougnut, according to his defense attorney.

A preliminary hearing was held Wednesday in the Manteca branch of San Joaquin County Superior Court, where Judge Ronald Northup heard the testimony of two officers in determining that Aguilar's case should go to trial.
